Justice of the Peace Weddings/Civil Weddings

Ah New Mexcio! Such a enchanting and wonderful state, when it comes to weddings we are a little different. In numerous locations you go to the county court house get your license, ask to see a Judge or Justice of the Peace and Voila you are married! Not here.

While Judges and other officials can marry you, they don't. Well let me correct that, they don't actually wish to. In most counties in New Mexico the Judges are hectic, so scheduling time to do weddings is not a real top priority. What will occur is the clerks will offer to put you on a waiting list, generally 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, if a Judge is readily available you can have an in chambers wedding. Notice the if available? Almost anything can trigger a delay, we had one couple who waited the 8 weeks, only to be informed the Judge was away on business and could they come back in a week?

If you are from out of town you can not actually wait around, and if you are from town do you actually desire to wait? For civil type of events we offer 3 options.

For folks who just have to be married. We do a really short service, IN OFFICE ONLY (No Travel) and sign documents. Not for the romantic, however a legal wedding ceremony. You need 2 witnesses over the age of 18..
